This video covers more ground than its 3 predecessors in the Focus on
Flamework series.
The most interesting aspect
is the
demonstration of ways to actually use the different canes
in
certain pieces as, for example, goblet stems,
paperweight figures, or free standing
insects.

Townsend explains the difference
between "filigrana" and "latticino", and how the term "milli's"
came to be
used instead of "murrini". He also shows examples of master works in the
field, and encourages the notion that cane making is accessible
to anyone working in glass, clearly demonstrating the necessary
techniques for doing so..

With this DVD you will learn to make canes
with simple external patterns, canes with internal twists,
alternating
colors in patterns on the outside of a piece, simple star murrini canes,
realistic eye canes for amphibians, and you'll learn how to bundle sections
of a cane together and draw that down into a
complex cane.

As before, the combination of interview,
demonstration, still images, finished pieces, and now captions
and digital animation will make this DVD both useful
and easy to understand.
